OK, here is what I think I am going to do. If you
don't like this let me know ASAP. And I mean, ASAP. :-)

There are three routines that are in every piece of
code I've written in the past 15 years:

TVImage
FSC_Colorbar (whose name was changed from Colorbar)
FSC_Color

What I am going to do is write wrappers for those three
routines, but leave the routines in the Library. I *will*
take advantage of the cgImage wrapper to re-think my
original interpolation decision, but I can still do all
my on-going development work on TVImage.

cgColorbar and cgColor will just be straightforward
wrappers.

All the other *graphics* routines that I wrote for the
book, I am going to rename with a "cg" preface instead
of a "FSC_" preface. I haven't written that many programs
using these routines, so I presume no one else has either.
(Wayne, I'll wait to hear from you before I pull the trigger
on this entirely!) By my count that is 19 files whose names
will change, but all written specifically for the book,
and all mostly since November.

Sheesh! I wish we ALL knew at the beginning of the journey
what we only know too well at the end! :-(

Still better to do this today, rather then regret it forever
next week.

Cheers,

David
